(1) Westcote spells the family name as "Bampfield" whilst Vivian uses 'Bamfield" or "Bamfeild" then "Bampfield" with "Bampfylde" being used for the first time with the 1st Lord. Wotton mostly uses "Baumfilde" then "Bampfylde". We use Bampfylde for the page title as that is what is used in BP1934 (Poltimore).
(2) BP1934 reports that the manor of Poltimore has been possessed by this family since the reign of Edward I (who r. 1272-1307) but, other than mentioning John (m. Eleanor Beauchamp), starts its pedigree with the Amias shown at the top of Bampfylde2.
(3) There has been some confusion with & between the early generations of this family.
We show what is reported by Vivian but report also what is shown by the other Main Sources.

Wotton inserts 2 extra generations here: an unnamed Baumfilde who married the de Hockisham heiress (presumably the Hoxham/Huxham heiress shown by Vivian/Westcote as some generations later) then John Baumfilde of Poltimore (temp Edward I) who m. Isabel, dau of John Faber (presumably the Faber connection shown by Vivian/Westcote as some generations later).

Wotton inserts 2 extra generations here: John (m. Isabella, dau of John de Cobham) and John (m1. Joanna, dau of Geoffrey Gilbert of Compton (mother also of John who dsp); m2. (sp?) Joanna Hastings). Vivian shows the next generation as ...

John Bampfield of Poltimore

Wotton just identifies John's wife as Agnes, dau of John de Pederton. Except that Westcote shows Agnes's mother's family name as Turvey rather than Turney, Vivian & Wescote identify her as ...

Sir William Bampfield of Poltimore, Sheriff of Devon (d by 1475)

This generation is shown by Vivian & Wotton but not by Westcote. Wotton shows his son Walter as father rather than elder brother of the William who m1. Margaret St. Maur m2. Margaret Kirkham. We are following Vivian.

Westcote identifies Edward's wife as Elizabeth, dau of Sir Richard Wadham of Merryfield and relict of _ Warr of Somerset. BE1883 (St. Maur) identifies her as dau of Sir Michael Wadham. It seems that there was no Sir Richard or Sir Michael Wadhams of Merryfield around this time so we follow Vivian & Wotton (supported by the Warre records) in identifying her as ...

All 3 of our Main Sources show Joan as married only to Richard Pollard (by whom she had 9 children). Vivian shows a Johanna of the next generation (dau of John) as married to Hugh Gifford (see ## above). Wotton & Westcote also show a Johanna/Joan in the next generation but do not show her as having married. [Vivian also shows another Joane (dau of John) of 4 generations later as m. Hugh Gifford (see ## on Bampfylde2).] In his work on 'Giffard of Halsbury' (p400) Vivian identifies the wife of Hugh Giffard of St. Giles as "Joane da. of John Bamfeild of Poltimore, relict of Richard Pollard of Horwood". That Hugh must have been born c1530 and so his wife, who bore him (at least) 4 children, is shown as this Joan even though her father was called Edward.
